charge jack. To prevent dust and moisture from damaging the Bluetoot h PTT,
always ensure this cover is in place when you are not charging the Bluetooth
PTT.

 The Bluetooth PTT takes approximately 4.5 hours to charg e. Actual charge time

will vary depending on several factors including the battery’s charge state,
condition and age.

Charging Cautions:
 Use only the wall charger supplied by the manufacturer. Do not use any other

charger.
